Articles (Peer Reviewed Journals and White Papers)

Motivation. The founders and employees of Meliorum Technologies have deep roots in academia. As such, the company has embraced an implicit obligation to document technology in an attempt to further its understanding and motivate further public inquiry. This obligation manifests in two forms:

  • Production of white papers, written by scientists employed by the company or by customers of the company. The white papers outline some of the fundamentals of the technology being used, and often provide motivation for use of technology for particular purposes.
  • Maintenance of a list of peer reviewed articles, published in academic or similar journals, written by customers, outlining experimentation performed using Meliorum nanomaterials.

Meliorum corporate culture and policy urges submission of articles about our products to pertinent peer-reviewed technical journals. These may be found by browsing the appropriate scholarly databases for the references in the list below.
